It’s my pleasure to present to you the very first episode of The Documentary Blog Podcast! My co-host Josh Ligairi and I (Jay Cheel) aim to bring you some solid, informative discussion on the latest in documentary news, reviews, trailers and DVD/Blu-ray releases on what we hope will be a regular basis (aiming for bi-weekly at the moment). Best of all, we plan on having regular guest contributors including some of your favourite bloggers and documentary filmmakers! For our premiere episode we’re thrilled to be joined by Jeff Feuerzeig, director of one my favourite docs of the decade, The Devil and Daniel Johnston. We discuss some docs we’ve been watching, highlight some of our top pics at TIFF and get into some trailers. Finally, we end the show with a discussion with Jeff about working with Daniel Johnston and some of the challenges he faced when making his film.

This being our first episode, we’re still in the process of working through the format and sorting out any technical issues we might face, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated! As the shows go on, we will begin to smooth everything out and settle comfortably into what will hopefully be an entertaining and insightful podcast for documentary lovers! Enjoy!

So I’m confused. I went to iTunes to see if your podcast feed was there yet. And I found you guys, but there were 3 podcasts… recorded in 2007. So is this new podcast a reboot of sorts?

When do you plan to get this new podcast on iTunes?

Yeah, I think we’ll be putting up a new feed for this podcast. Hopefully we’ll have something up on iTunes in the next couple of days. The old one is completely unrelated and should probably be taken down at some point.

Benji: Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for future episodes!

If Josh could get some better equipment that would be excellent. That would also iron out the inevitable problems with recording over Skype.

I love the idea and the execution is very solid. A captivating two hours – looking forward to more!

Nice to hear Mr. Feuerzeig mention William Klein’s “Muhammad Ali, the Greatest”, which is also a favorite of mine. Caught it on TV a few years ago was floored by the film’s unique form and energy. Anything Ali-related is at least somewhat interesting (the guy is one of the most magnetic public figures of the 20th Century, after all) but this is by far the best film I’ve seen about him… and Klein’s filmmaking matches his bigger than life subject matter.

awwwwwwwesome guys, as a doc fan i couldnt get enough of this and cant wait for more!

Really great show guys – my car and I are excited you’re doing this.

The first show was 99.9% great, but it sounds like you’re open to feedback, so here’s a very minor point: I thought it was a bit on the long side. A since some moments were more informative than others, a bit more editing could make it the perfect length (an hour or less).

The emergency of light therapy units for acne treatments has created a growing industry, however many of these devices simply do not work. Blue and red LED treatments, phototherapy devices, and other hand-held products are commonly underpowered or battery operated. Only a table top unit allows therapies that are long enough to be effective. Although LEDs are very effective for clinical units, home based use along with consumer equipment this particular technology is normally too weak to produce a big difference when treating acne.
